Two women were cited Saturday for allegedly having a breast exposed during a burlesque show in Des Moines.

According to a police report, Officer Robert Hoelscher and Sgt. Chris Hardy went to 3711 Ingersoll Ave., formerly the Ingersoll Dinner Theater, on Friday night because of a complaint about the show “Phoenix L'Amour presents Burlesque Baby.”

“During the show Sgt. Hardy and I observed a full breast of each defendant at different times,” Hoelscher wrote in the report. Police recorded parts of the show.

Cited for prohibited acts were Erin E. O'Grady, 27, of Ames and Julia Mahlstadt, 25, of Des Moines.

City ordinance generally prohibits exposure of female breasts “at or below the nipple” at establishments with liquor licenses or in public places. The Ingersoll property has a liquor license, according to the police report.

Other details about the complaint and whether further investigation was planned were not immediately available Sunday night.
